Thank you for this. It has improved my understanding immensely and was a pleasure to read. I feel the timing was very good because they’re trying so hard to distract us from the tyranny all around us by spreading Ukraine/Russia fear porn. I finally am starting to learn to try to watch the other hand during the trick, so to speak, but had no real understanding of the history of the supposed conflicts. The allegory was really helpful.

I completely enjoyed this story. It was so much easier to follow in this format and my inner child relished it😊 For years, since the O’bama admin, I thought Prof Cohen was the voice in the wilderness calling out some kind of lie on the drummed up Ukraine story. It wasn’t like there was a good guy anywhere in the story, but the bad guys were more plentiful than the imbecile press put about. Like what country let’s their adversary surround them and cut them off from the sea for oil export? No one does that. And, then came the first impeachment and I learn that JB park ranger in training did the quid pro quo extortion and not the Orange Man — and he bragged on tape too. I went through a kind of mini ocd period trying to understand what my gut was trying to tell me about the lies being deeper and more multi faceted and consequential than usual. Like it was a longer story than met the eye on a past to future axis. So your tale feels just right to the tummy, but it seems like an explanation of 2013 events might aid. Was there a triggering event? Is it just the habit of poking the bear and this was another episode. Was it starting a fish bidding war for the favor of the ranger’s son. Seems like payoffs came to incarnations of the ranger from both the Comic turf and the Bear turf. Are the orthodox churches involved? There is still something unclear and it seems urgent. Is it an excuse for lining up all the Revelation players against the Park Ranger? (I expect you don’t entertain that scenario but I look for that Shadowplay). Is it the party of Davos kneecapping the Ranger? Thanks for the story so far.

A very insightful analogy of our sad state of affairs. Keep up the good work brother! Let me know if you adapt it into a children's story and I'll be glad to read it to my son. Just joined the flock BTW. I've been enjoying your free content for a couple months now but a brother's gotta eat too, and I can imagine these posts probably take half your day if not longer to create. Your writing is beautiful too in its architecture and style. Once upon a time in another life I wanted to be a writer and I wrote a bunch, mostly poetry but also a few short stories. But alas it seems my muse left me long long ago.

Yanukovych never even declined the deal. He asked to negotiate and wanted to know why he couldn't have a deal with Russia at the same time (this was obviously out of the question so he seemed to be naive). He didn't realize they were making him an offer he couldn't refuse. He is lucky to be alive

With lab created Covid-mRNA mandates, the oligarchic class has deployed similar leveraging tactics in the pharmaceutical realm as it has been using for many decades in the military realm. Lies, fear, deception, and aggressive socio-political and economic coercion have been employed to enable the largest heist in history. The claws of the beast have now completely enclosed us in their "protective" grasp. Pretend enemies, like Covid virus and the Russian Bear, are used to generate fear, compliance, and most important of all, profits.

Democracy has become a fungible concept; so much so it resembles fungi. Not that I have anything against the fungus of the world…

Having been taught the need to be aware of F E A R - false evidence appearing real, and its corollary, like when I am walking through the woods, and come around a bend to find myself facing a grizzly, F E A R - f**k everything and run (as if one can outrun a grizzly), methinks these pedigreed poodles ain’t exactly what we should be walking with through these dark woods. How’d we get here now? Oh, yeah. The poodles need to go out and prance and poop. Ugh.

What's funny is that they think we've forgotten all the stuff that happened between Park Ranger & his son and the entire campsite crew just a few years ago. Like they really think we only have memories of a week or two long, just because that'd be convenient for them.
